2011 in review (pretty weak)
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 38,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 14 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

10 Free Alternatives to Photoshop for Mac & PC
While Photoshop is one of the the industry standards for photo editing, it can also be quite costly. With Photoshop CS5 running you about $700 (and CS5 Extended costing as much as $1000), it can be a difficult purchase to have to make. Of course, if you are a student or educator of some sort, Adobe will cut you some serious deals, with Photoshop CS5 Extended only costing $200. Even if you’re not qualified for that discount but you know someone who is, have them buy it for you with their discount. However if $200 is still too steep a price for you, one of my favorite tech websites did a little write up on some free alternatives, for both Mac & PC. Unplgged is a great site for all things tech, and while there is generally more mac related content, you can count on some really interesting articles regarding photography/cameras. Check out the 10 Free Alternatives Here

BMX Parodies.
Never in my life did i expect to see parody BMX videos, but this guy is actually making me laugh. The awesome part is he actually makes legit videos. They’re right on par with the quality of some of the videos they’re poking fun at. It all seems to be in good fun and is definitely entertaining. Instead of posting one video i’ll just give you the link to the vimeo profile. Not all videos are parodies but its easy to find the ones that are. Go check out some of the videos and have a laugh on behalf of some witty canadians.

Made to fit just about any HD DSLR or video camera.
Made from steel and strength tested with a price tag of $75 dollars, how an you go wrong?
